Haven't heard about that. What's it say?

Glad it helped. It's a great timesaver!

I do remember a diagram of construction similar to Dorien Iten's process, it must be buried somewhere on the Gurney Journey.

Nice studies so far. I'm wondering what your really quick studies would look like (if you limited your time per drawing). Not that spending a lot of hours on one image is a bad thing, but the change of pace might help in the case you start zoning out or zoning into detail too early. Cheers.

Thanks Hozure, I spend three hours per piece. To mix things up I've spent three hours doing half of a study and today I will finish it off (within another three). Would you recommend doing a series of shorter studies? e.g a bunch of figures each 20 mins on a page.

Yesterday and today's progress on the study, I'll finish off the hair and add stripes to the shirt tomorrow. I've decided to avoid using the dry/chalky photoshop brushes because my previous studies are quite blurry. 

I learnt to use the hard round brush and vary its size to achieve different effects e.g I use it at a smaller size to do hard edges and at a larger size I use it to lightly shade areas.

Today's study, I feel comfortable doing studies but when it comes to making something original I have a tough time. Tomorrow I will do some sketching to create a strong foundation for a more polished piece. I will also do some still life studies to help learn lighting.

Some practice from the past week, I bought Mike Azevedo's tutorial on colour and its helped a ton.
